Joomla!
Free and open-source content management system for publishing web content.
Joomla! is a free, open-source content management system for publishing web content, released under the GPL license and built on PHP and MySQL. It provides a model–view–controller web application framework that can be used independently of the CMS to build online applications. The platform is developed by a global community of developers and volunteers.
Its capabilities include multilingual support, responsive and search engine-friendly output, flexible design through free extensions and templates, and multi-user permission levels for content management. The core framework supports the creation of add-ons such as inventory control systems, data reporting tools, application bridges, product catalogs, e-commerce systems, business directories, reservation systems, and communication tools. Developer documentation is available through the project's manual.
Joomla! is intended for corporate websites and portals, intranets and extranets, small business sites, online publications, e-commerce and reservations, government and non-profit organizations, community and school sites, and personal homepages. It is also positioned for web agencies building client sites and for developers extending the platform. The software is free and open source under the GPL, with extensions available through the Joomla! Extensions Directory. A free website can be launched through launch.joomla.org without installing the software locally.
